Finished work at ANU

Although most of the work I will finish with lusters and decals when I get to my studio at home, I finished up a handful of pieces for the ANU Collection. Quick shots I am afraid, and the mother of pearl luster a bit hard to see. The box with about 30 small pieces is packed and ready to go to DHL tomorrow, my last day in Canberra. I will miss my colleagues and the students here, all who have been wonderful to work with. I am on to Sydney for a couple days and fly home on Monday.

Introducing my blog

I have a new post on my residency this past summer 2012 in Jingdezhen, China.

I have posted work started at Australia National University and finished at my home studio.

I have documented my vacation in India for the holidays. The posts run most recent first, so you might want to start with Day 1.

I yet have to get to my Wuhan, China, adventure. Next up.....

My residency at ANU is described as well. Australia was a great experience.

Also, I am blogging about my recent work and research in 3 D Scanning, 3 D Printing, Laser Sintering and other technologies. The finished work and experiments will be included. My article is included the recent Ceramics Technical.

The previous chronicles of my trip to Europe to work with and research European Porcelains is now in published form in the current edition of the Ceramics Technical journal.

I was able to do the "porcelain pilgrimage" or what might seem to be a Grand Tour, the technology experimentation and the residency in Australia through the generous support of the University of Florida through a Faculty Enhancement Opportunity grant.

As many of you have experienced, keeping a website up to date is difficult at best. I thought it would be easier to keep a blog fresh, new and updated with current work and events. So please visit the website for an archival look at older work and some of my accomplishments and then look to this blog to keep you posted on recent things about me and my work.
